As one of the ethnic in Indonesia, most of the people who live in West Sumatra are Minangkabau ethnic. Every Minangkabaunese has two lifestyle or lifeland, the first is 'nagari' as a motherland and the second is 'rantau' referring to other land apart from their motherland. The consequence of that adat (philosophy) the Minangs always doing the 'the Two' in their life.

They always take care atention to 'son and nephew, 'daughter and niece', 'kampuang and rantau', 'raso and pareso', 'cupak asli and cupak buatan', 'heart and head, 'quality and quantity', 'aqimus sholata and atuz zakata', right brain-left brain', etc. or in new scientific is the digital binary information, 0 and 1.
